By John Pilger, published 2/3/2009

In the age of the 'war on terror' censorship in Hollywood works by omission and 'introspective dross'.

If I misread your post, it might have had something to do with this statement:

‘Aparently [Miranda Devine’s] tastes are even too far left for the ABC, so pehaps she consoles herself in the feminist discussion groups she attends.’

This wording reads as if you were claiming MD as both a left-winger and a feminist. I have seen both these one-size-fits-all labels used to refer to her in the past. However, I accept that I stand corrected.

Also, just reading your comments to Daviy … your worldview reminds me of a giant warehouse full of people in cages throwing eggs at people in other cages. I’ll keep that in mind when you disparage lefties or righties in the future.

I think you are beginning to get the idea. We have the Jews in their cage kicking shite out of Gaza. We have Hamas in their cage throwing rockets at the Jews. We have the Shiites in their cage blowing up Sunnis who are retaliating from there little cage, mostly bought on by Bush/Blair/Howard from their little cage bombing hell out of Iraq because Saddam Husain was supposed to have a cage full of WMD's.
What over cages have we? There is Taliban cage, the Faq cage, the tamil Tiger cage, the Burmese generals cage and sundry other little cages scattered around the place.
All this is supported by non-thinking people screaming 'left/right' and sundry other labels. And at the same time we have Houellebecq in the background listing the people he/she enjoys hating.

These cages are self constructed prisons built by believing what the cage masters (left and Right)want you to believe. None of these cages could be supported by a thing entity.
Back to the original article. These little cages only exist because of censorship in all its forms. I saw a quote, I think it was by the drummer of the cure whose name I have forgotten. 'Public opinion is orchestrated ignorance.' That is spot on. So the people in their cage of orchestrated ignorance throw eggs at others in another cage who are wallowing in their state of orchestrated ignorance. And so on and on it goes.

None of it has anything remotely resembling thinking attached to it
